Manchester United’s ambitions for the summer transfer window hinge on their success in the UEFA Europa League. The Red Devils are reportedly eyeing Southampton’s rising star, Tyler Dibling, but only if they secure a spot in the UEFA Champions League.

To achieve this, United must first navigate their way past Athletic Club in the semi-finals, followed by a potential showdown against either Tottenham or Bodo/Glimt in the final in Bilbao. A victory in the Europa League would not only grant them a place in Europe’s elite competition but also bolster their financial resources for the upcoming transfer market.

According to a report in the Mirror, “Manchester United are primed to launch a mega-money deal for Southampton star Tyler Dibling – but face one significant hurdle.” The 19-year-old has been a standout performer for the struggling Saints this season and is at the top of United’s summer shopping list.

Southampton have reportedly slapped a £100 million price tag on Dibling to fend off interest from United and Premier League rivals Tottenham, with German side RB Leipzig also in the mix. However, United’s pursuit of the talented teenager is contingent on their Champions League qualification, as ESPN suggests they will only intensify their interest if they secure a spot in the competition.

In addition to Dibling, United are also considering Ipswich striker Liam Delap and a new midfielder as part of their summer plans. Manager Ruben Amorim has a busy summer ahead as he looks to strengthen his squad.

Meanwhile, United are emerging as the “front-runners” to sign Bournemouth striker Antoine Semenyo this summer. A report in the Metro indicates that the Red Devils could outpace Liverpool and Chelsea in the race for the Ghana international, who has netted 11 goals across all competitions this season.

Andoni Iraola’s Bournemouth, who signed Semenyo from Bristol City for just £10 million in 2023, are under no pressure to sell. However, they are willing to entertain offers if their £70 million valuation is met. Sky Sports reports that United are leading the charge for Semenyo, with Amorim said to be a keen admirer of the versatile forward.

However, the competition for Semenyo’s signature is fierce, with several top Premier League clubs also expressing interest in the Bournemouth attacker.

In other transfer news, Manchester City are reportedly leading the race to sign Morgan Gibbs-White from Nottingham Forest. The Daily Mail claims that Pep Guardiola’s side has identified the England international as a key target following an impressive season at Forest.

City’s new director of football, Hugo Viana, is set to reshape the squad, particularly in central midfield, after the club opted against offering Kevin De Bruyne a new contract. While Liverpool and Manchester United have also shown interest in Gibbs-White, the Mail understands that City will be at the forefront of the race once the current campaign concludes.

Gibbs-White shares a close friendship with Phil Foden, who has named his former England Under-17 World Cup-winning teammate as the godfather to his first child, Ronnie. This connection could play a role in Gibbs-White’s potential move to the Etihad.
